About this product

Product Information

In the 19th century Shanghai was a prosperous centre of trade with the west, and external influences combined with established cultural traditions to ensure that a lively artistic scene developed. This book is a rare opportunity to discover some of the exquisite 19th century paintings from the Shanghai Museum, as superb colour illustrations accompany entries on individual artists. Many of the paintings represented were created for the home market rather than for export, and reveal diverse and unusual views of China. The versatility and beauty of styles and composition gives us a unique view into the cultural life of the city, and make this book an item to treasure.
